What is anacrolix-dms
anacrolix-dms is:
dms is a UPnP DLNA Digital Media Server. It runs from the terminal, and serves
content directly from the filesystem from the working directory, or the path
given. The SSDP component will broadcast and respond to requests on all
available network interfaces.
This package provides the executable dms binary files.
dms advertises and serves the raw files, in addition to alternate transcoded
streams when it’s able, such as mpeg2 PAL-DVD and WebM for the Chromecast. It
will also provide thumbnails where possible.
dms uses ffprobe/avprobe to get media data such as bitrate
and duration, ffmpeg/avconv for video transoding, and
ffmpegthumbnailer for generating thumbnails when browsing. These
commands must be in the PATH given to dms or the features
requiring them will be disabled.
